| dc.description.abstract | The field investigation to study the performance of Gram (PG-5 and PG-12) under irrigation regimes during rabi season was conducted at Mahatma Phule Krishi Vidyapeeth, Rahuri (Maharashtra), India, during 1991-92c The experiment was laid in split plot design with four replications. There were six main plot treatment comprising six irrigation treatments (unirrigated control, one irrigation at flower initiation, one irrigation at 50% flowering, one irrigation at pod development, two irrigations at branching + pod development, two irrigations at 50% flowering + pod development) and sub plot treatments were two varieties (PG-5 and PG-12). The soils of experimental field was vertisols, low in nitrogen, phosphrous and high in available potassium and was slightly alkaline in reaction. The plant growth characters such as plant height, plant spread/ number of branches (primary and secondary) and total dry matter per plant were influenced significantly due to irrigation treatments. The yield contributing characters such as, number of pods, weight of pods, number of grains, weight of grains per plant and thousand grain weight were influenced significantly due to irrigation treatments. All the characters were at higher magnitude with two irrigation applied at flower initiation + pod development stage and was followed by two irrigation applied at 50 % flowering + pod development stage. The grain yield was maximum with two irrigations at flowering + pod development stage. Amoungs the treatments with one irrigation the grain yield was heigher when one irrigation was applied at flower initiation stage. The grain yield obtained with unirrigated control was minimum. The harvest index was not influenced significantly due to irrigation •? treatments. The plant growth characters such as plant height, primary branches, total dry matter per plant were highter in variety PG-5 and spread of plant, secondary branches per plant were, higher in variety PG-12. The yield contributing characters such as number of pods, weight of pods, number of grains, weight of grains per plant were significantly higher in wariefcy PG-12 than PG-5 and 1000 grain weight was significantly higher in variety PG-5. The grain yield obtained with variety PG-5 and PG-12 were 15.43 and 16.69 q/ha, respectively. The response to consumptive use of water was quadratic. | en_US |
